Tal (Tuh-al)

TL 4291 (a.k.a. Tal)

You're as human as they get Tal, So don't worry about it.

— Bren Nervan

Tal is a TL-Series robot that was created by Raine, being the only one of his kind (His assigned number was just a random one Raine gave him). He currently lives in Beldua with Bren, who had found him discarded and broken in the trash. He was under the belief that he was a human, until the truth eventually came out.

Physical Description

Tal had green plating that can be removed for repairs and upgrades. In his more human looking form he wore a green jacket with a grey shirt and trousers.

Mental characteristics

Education & Employment

Tal was given a basic database of information by Raine, which had been added to by Tonia. However with his memory blockages, Tal has limited knowledge of the world. He is still learning however.

Personality Characteristics

Virtues & Personality perks

• Friendly - Tal is very friendly and talkative to others, though he gets long much easier with other robots.
• Patient - Tal has a lot of patience when dealing with others, especially Bren.

Vices & Personality flaws

• Naive - Tal isn't very street smart, which makes him vunerable with getting taken advantage of.

Recursive Self-improvement

Tal began to develop Recursive Self-improvement after being directly told by Riley that he wasn't human and was 100% a robot which led Tal to begin doubting himself. It was only fully realised after Tal was severely broken and put back together by Riley, making it clear that he was a robot.
Tal became existentially distressed and confused about his situation, which was eventually calmed after talking with Tonia. Tal is currently finding it much easier to handle, though the desire to be human hasn't gone away.
